we will -- i want to thank the alexandria police, sheriff's offers and the alexandria fire department for their rapid response to the request for assist. rapid response and certainly save lives. >> at this point, we are going to gather the investigators together, and look at what we have, and put this incident together, again, it is very early on, and there is a lot of witnesses to be interviewed, once we have more information, we will certainly pason whatever information we can to make sure that you have the information you need. >> chief ... >> i'm going to turn it back over to the alexandria chief. thank you, chief. >> folks, we won't answer any questions at this point because it as he pointed thought is an active ongoing investigation, we call the

shrine screen hot, because we are collecting information and evidence it, would be premature for us to respond any further. in a hour and a half we will come back together and give awe update to what we can speak to and perhaps give you answers to some questions. >> chief, any indication of ongoing shooting? any other shooters out there? >> this is a stable situation at this point, no additional threat. we consider this incident to be a closed incident under investigation. thank you very much. >> and the suspect in custody, correct? the suspect in custody? >> so from outside our nation's capitol, we await this morning to this news. police just wrapping up that news conference, as you heard, not taking any questions, just speaking for about five minutes. this is a fox news alert. we will be on this story for considerable time today. they're already saying they'll give another update about 90 minutes from now, we will car that i live. here is what we know. house majority whip, steve scalise, texas congressman roger williams, both been shot. three others apparently shot as well on a baseball fields outside of our nation's

capitol. we are told that scalise took bullet to the hip. he's been a lift today nearby hospital. his condition according to the associated press is listed as stable. early reports are that he will survive, in fact, the president suggesting the same thing just a moment ago from the white house. so, we have a quickly developing story, as we say good morning here on america's news room. and here we go, into yet another significant development in washington dc. >> okay, there with bill help err. >> learned a lot of information in the past couple every minutes. most recently, texas congressman roger williams was also shot in addition to representative steve scalise. >> we heard four people had been shot. but no the capitol police and the alexandria police department confirm five people have been shot, taken to area hospital. five people have been taken to the hospital. but yes, just in the process, looks like, five people actually shot. steve scalise, now texas

congressman roger williams, and adee, and two police officers. >> seems to be the total we now now. as you heard, they weren't answering any questions, say still very active scene. we did get more details about what happened earlier this morning, the call came in at 7:09. and they were there within three minutes, sounds like they still have a lot of people they need to interview, a lot of evidence they need to go through. they did i say closed incident, because a lot of the reporters trying to figure out, is there another shooter out there, is there any concern for any other incident, but they said this is closed, may provide some information, spoke with doug luzader stationed at the capitol right now, there was increased police presence, at the capitol. >> at the capitol. >> and usually whenever there is an incident in the area, or near dc, they shut down the capitol, or they have an increased presence. >> i was very surprised, very surprised that the capital wasn't in lockdown once they heard this happen, attack on our congress people and representatives, and senators also at the location t so, new

information, texas congressman roger williams, also, hit along with representative steve scalise, majority whip. also, the capitol police were on the scene because they were there to guard, especially, all every these congress people, but specially thereon detail for majority whip steve scalise. so they returned fire, as well. capitol police apparently got involved in the shooting as well. so, i know rand paulsen tore rand paul was there, and out of kentucky, he said that if those police officers hadn't been there because the guy had automatic weapon, shooter, supposedly reports have said middle-aged white man who is now in custody at the alexandria police department, that it really could have been horrible, would have been a massacre. >> and makes me think about, too, the situation that happened, we heard, senator jeff flake, talking earlier about how when he saw what happened to representative steve scalise, went and grabbed the phone to call his

wife so she wouldn't have to wake up and see on television. now that we know in a roger williams, also texas congressman shot, wife as well, so do you have think of the family members what they might be thinking. >> the democrats and the democrats were practicing in the exact same time about a mile away from. >> this so quick break, coming right back.

>> at least five people have been shot during a congressional baseball practice, look at the police presence err there. among the victims, representative steve scalise, his aids to law enforcement officers also a texas congressman, roger williams. >> and as the alexandria police chief just mentioned moments ago, this is still a very active scene.

>> recap happened at 7:09 this morning. >> 7:09 this morning. >> happening, about little over about an hour and a half ago. >> jeff flake of arizona, heard from him, moments ago. he was on third base, scalise was at second base, at the time of the shooting. scalise fell to the grounds, he tried to drag himself away from the shooter but remained therefore about ten minutes. representative mo brooks we understands of alabama reportedly used a belt as a tourniquet to stop scalise's bleeding. we have also learned this morning, that multiple congressional aids were struck, by a loan gunman, with a rifle, at least one aid was shot in the chest, two law enforcement officers were also hit. >> alexandria police department, just sent out this tweet with an update. suspect is in custody and not a threat, pio, public information officer, will be on scene shortly, to share

update. as we mentioned, the shooting gang roughly about 7:09. some reports saying 7:15 this morning, and lasted about ten minute, according to several eyewitness accounts. representative, ron de sanities, told fox news, that a man asked him if it was republicans, or democrats, practicing on that field. about three minute later, the shooting began, there were as many as 50 shots that were fired this morning. it is still unclear if the shots were from the suspect or from law enforcement, but witnesses say at least 50 shots were fired. the entire ballpark, this is on east monroe avenue, you see, the chopper landing there, several people that were struck, air lifted by area hospitals, once again, this is on east monroe avenue, several blocks surrounding that ballpark on lock-down including several schools in the area. being reported that this situation is seen contained by alexandria police, still have their weapons drawn, they're in stand by for any situation.

>> as for gop whip steve scalise, aide says he's in stable condition at george washington university hospital. his injuries are not believed to be life threatening. as for the white house, white house press secretary sean spicer, tweeting this moments ago, he wrote: both at potus, and vp vice president, are aware of the developing situation in virginia, our thoughts and prayers are with all affected. we will be watching it for the news room as well from the studio, mike analling. >> any update on the condition of texas congressman roger williams, used to be the secretary of state of texas. >> getting conflicting reports, obviously we want to hammer out everything before we broadcast that to you, as soon as we learn more we will pass it along, mike. >> okay. >> because we have been reporting on steve scalise all morning being shot, but this is new information about the texas representative congressman roger williams. >> maybe doug has some info there capitol grounds, doug?

>> good morning, yes, no information, on other victims, at this point. steve scalise is said to be in surgery now. here on the capitol grounds, we talked about this, i think, last hour, the fact this they've not lock this area down, which is a little surprising. >> they think the threat, to that practice, and no threat involving the other buildings, the capitol complex including capitol building it self. now they also say there is a more -- >> as you can tell, that was footage, we lost you, doug, are you back? >> yes, you got me? >> got you. >> okay. if you look off to your right here, see police are stationed, generally outside, if we look off to the right here, you can see, where police are generally stationed here, outside the capitol. we did see some more heavily armed officers, for awhile, but see up on the steps there,

as well. so, again, police are saying that there is a more robust presence right now, in the capitol complex. which includes a number of buildings beyond just the capitol itself. but they don't seem to think that there is any kind of active threat right now in this immediate area. >> and doug we were just talking earlier how alexandria police when they had their mini press conference here, they say they believe it is a closed incident, so it might be why we're not seeing increased -- >> by closed you mean that got it under control? >> yes. >> it might be isolated closed. >> any time they have something? >> second attack, for instance, while police are kind of focusing on the first attack, but they seem to think that this involved, this one suspect, that is now -- >> just shocking to me. how, how, how do they though that, with all of these random attacks? >> specially considering the fact it sounds like from reports of people who were thereon that baseball field that the gunman specifically

asked for, are you democrats or republicans, it seems really targeted. >> yes. you know, mike and alex shall i agree with you, i'm surprised they did not lockdown the capitol complex. we talk about this earlier. just given the kind of hair trigger they're on on regular basis? >> telling to get out of the way, and then you never really find out what it was about. so, the fact they didn't do that, tells you, they must know something that would indicate that this was an isolated incident. >> hey you're standing right there. as the crow flies, how long would it take to get to alexandria? almost see it, can't you? >> yes. i think, actually, producer todd probably no, sir. how long would it take to you drive there without traffic? fifteen, 20 minute, not that far away. and obviously traffic would be a lot worse, but as the crow flies just few miles. >> okay, thanks, doug, we'll check back with you.

president trump released couple of statement, couple of them via twitter, vice president and i are aware of the shooting under dent in virginia, monitoring, deeply sad he ends, our thought and prayers are with the members of congress, their staff. did that about 40 minute ago. >> and the vice president had a speech this morning, since canceled it, gone to the white house. so the president also tweeted too that representative steve scalise of louisianna said true friends and patriots, badly injured, but willfully recover. >> senator pat toomey, keeping steve scalise, capitol police and other victims in my prayers. >> we mentioned earlier this happened at baseball field, in a area that was right next to a ymca. now seeing some photos that were tweeted out from inside the ymca near the feel. showing bullet holes that were in the windows. bullet holes were in the windows. very, see, you can see the picture here, look at that.

>> the ymca the folks that belong there use this field. used to be minor league field. you know the game that is scheduled tore tomorrow has become so big they move it to the washington nationals stadium? that's how many people love this to go on. they raise oh, close to million dollars every year for charities, between the democrats and the republicans. democrats by the way about a mile and a half away. also in l axe andrea barak tig cents for big game tomorrow, republicans were practicing at another field. >> so we saw several different pictures, dif rhett bullet holes, different windows at the ymca. looks as if people are praying there. that's from representative who tweet that out, maybe after they heard the noise, all got together and prayed. >> we do know that even though there have been report and the chief did not confirm this, but have been report that the suspect is dead but that alexandria schools were put on lockdown. >> sure, the schools were, but the us capitol wasn't. i don't get it. also, hearing this, texas

representative roger williams, member of congress, shot at this baseball practice as well. >> so, does that mean. >> so, representative williams, you saying, not shot? >> new reports, this stuff is coming in, you know, bit by bit. so earlier report that said that he had been shot. he is saying that one of his staff members has been shot. >> so let's get to fox's lauren, live in washington, d.c., with more on these details. >> hey, lauren. >> hey, mike and alex, that's right. we are also confirming that congressman, texas congressman, williams, was not shot. it was actually one every his aids, of course, the congressman from louisianna representative steve scalise was shot. we've learned he's undergoing

surgery beginning any minute, that's for a hip injury. of course, shots ringing out, we were told there were some 25 congressmen all republican at this baseball practice when the shooting began, one of the congressmen said they heard between 50 and 60 shots rang out. saying it was about ten minutes worth of shooting spree. now, the gunman in question has been caught. and is in custody on his way it a hospital. we do not know his condition. police have not told us his condition, we are expecting some sort of update within the next hour and a half. exactly what has happened, but been told about five people have been taken to the hospital. >> representative steel scalise. >> thank you for clearing that up. >> that's what happens with these breaking news situations, as we are getting reports, still getting certain things confirm. and we've learned a lot since what happened that originally

7:09 this morning. >> okay, what are we looking at now megan? thank you, lauren, by the way, our fox5 coverage out of dc. >> that was fox news channel. >> this is fox5 camera. they've not moved at all. >> so, hopefully, the reporter will be at the scene very quickly here. we'll give live. >> we will will take a break and be right back.

all right. 9:28. lets get to our phone call with our representative, brendon boyle. thank you for being with us. where are you, first of all? >> i'm in my office, now completely safe. i play on the democratic congressional baseball team and we practice at a different field. it is all part of the same annual charity event that is supposed to take place tomorrow night. this has been a d.c. tradition going back many decade. >> did you go to practice this morning? >> no, because i'm preparing,

secretary of state tillerson is testifying in front of the committee on which i served so i skipped practice to prepare for that hearing. >> since you are a member of the baseball team and you know where democrats practice how far do the democrats practice from where the republicans were? >> so, it appears the republican field is in alexandria which is about 10 minutes from here. our practice field is at a university within a five minute drive of the capitol. so not, not very far at all. the one thing that is becoming aparent is fortunately the republicans had the capitol police, at their practice because one of their team members happens to be a, happens to get capitol police protection steve scalise. on the democrats team we don't practice with capitol police there, in one on our team is in house leadership since we are in the minority.

>> senator rand paul who was at pratt for the republicans said that thank god that steve scalise had his, you know, security detail because they were able to open fire and, shoot at this guy, to stop it, or it could have been a lot worse. because the guy had an automatic weapon. now you have friend on both side of the aisle, what are you hearing? >> generally what has been reported, more than anything in trading texts with different friend who are republicans, just we're all in complete shock no one expects this early morning baseball practice, you know, busy, thinking of all of the millions of things going on around here, and this is one of the nice things that brings us together democrats, republicans, people from the community, the game is played at washington nationals park. it is just stunning and tragic , so i'm afraid i'm not very good at putting tonight

to word because i'm still more stunned then anything. >> i bet. so, are you in the capitol building? you said you are in your office. >> my office, which is part of the capitol complex. >> do you see extra security? i'm still surprised that the capitol isn't, it isn't almost in lock down. >> no, the capitol is opened for business, so is capitol complex. we did get members and i believe staff got an alert from capitol police that there is extra protection that is on the ground but we are completely opened for business i have my hearing with secretary tillerson it was supposed to start at 9:00, delayed until 10. so i, today as opposed -- supposed to proceed pretty much as expected. >> wow, even despite what happened this morning it will still proceed. >> that is at lee the latest as of now 9:30. i don't know if there will be a change in that but so far, like i said, capitol complex

is opened and other than a increased, presence, there hasn't really been too much change here. >> yeah, i mention that had senator rand paul was there, a doctor, of course, but we had video, maybe we still have it of congressman ask a -- scalise on the stretcher. he got shot. it seemed like the shooter was shooting randomly at one point all across the infield, is there steve scalise there, emt have him running him over to the helicopter, being medivac'd, where did they take him george washington. >> yes. >> he is expected to be okay. >> my goodness. >> president trump tweeted out that he is in stable condition now and will have surgery very soon. >> i'm happy to hear that, whatever political differences may have, steve scalise always has a smile on his face, a very upbeat, nice, collogue and was nice enough when i had

my wife, my inlaws who live in louisiana were affected by major flood down there and he happens to be a representative from that area. >> in louisiana. >> and, he was very nice, very nice collogue and i just hope and pray he will be okay. >> speaking of your family, do they worry about you. >> you know, my wife does, yes , and my daddies probably watching this, who lives in fox chase. i certainly tell them don't worry bit, things will be fine i am kind of oblivious to the danger i guess that we're in. i just block it out. but, an incident like this does make you stop and think about it. >> they will hug you real tight next time. >> i noticed you tweeted letting everyone know i'm sure you are getting calls and texts thaw are okay and your staff is okay.

>> i was getting a ton of texts, e-mails, from different folks, so today's day and age quickest way to let them know i was okay was shooting out a tweet, i told my wife to let her know i'm okay as well. >> all right. best to you and your family. >> thank you so much. >> all right. >> by the way real quickly somebody asked me on twitter about the chester county congressman who was supposed to be at the practice on the g.o.p. side. look at this, he says he missed his ride. he wrote on his facebook for pennsylvania two years i have played in the congressional baseball game for charity. this morning i missed my ride by two minutes and did not attend practice. we now know a gunman fired shots at practice this morning while i am fine. i'm praying for my collogues, majority whip scalise, the police, and staff. five people in all were shot at this softball practice this morning. quick break.

white male who was very lethargically slowly getting in and out of his van parked along the street. i didn't speak to this individual, i didn't see any weapons, only reason i noted it was because i had to slow down and wait for him to kind of meander out of the middle of the street back toward his van and i would have never thought anything bit, had i not heard about this incident. >> so as you recall and i know i'm jogging your memory the best i can what do you recognize what do you remember about this individual. >> he was just an average white male probably 5-foot 10 or so, five, 10, something along those lines in height. it looked like he was preparing... >> that is representative bill johnson out of ohio, after practice he was describing what the gunman looked like. he showed up in a van, in a
